West Ham departee Diafra Sakho has accused the club of being racist.

The Senegalese winger has just left the club to join Saint-Etienne, and has accused the Hammers of “not wanting black players.”

“It’s nothing racist at all. It’s just sometimes they can have a bad attitude.

“We had problems with Sakho, with Diafra Sakho. We find that when they are not in the team they cause mayhem. It’s nothing against the African race at all.

“I mean, look, there are top African players. There’s not a problem with them. It’s just sometimes they cause a lot of problems when they are not playing, as we had with Diafra. He’s left, so great. It’s nothing personal at all.”
